    Any Futuristic Craft EDF?

    Hi Aircraft builder.

    I see alot of Warplane propeller and current jetfighter EDF airplane..but I haven't see any modern/future craft. Craft like space craft..X-Wing, Babylon 5 and Galactica for example. Anyone who has the intention to build them instead?

    Below are some of the images I selected and retrieved from internet that I think might be possible to make it work. It will be best to use EDF for realistic purposes instead. So, here u are:

    First off,

    Star Wars' X-Wing fighter. Four small EDF? Make the CG at the Engine or R2D2 area. All 4 EDF is in the 4 round shape (That is the engine)

    Next, a 70th scifi TV series... Buck Rogers.

    Buck Rogers Starfighter:

    Two EDF. The body is in Symmetrical shape or undercamber instead and it act as a Wing (Like Delta Wing airplane)

      I thought for a plane to fly, you need to have some aerofoil dimensions on the wings to create a lift. Will it also apply to X-ings ? Or EDF functions on a different basis.

        Battlestar Galactica.

        Cylon Raider. The original series Cylon Raider instead. Again, 2 EDF. Whole body is the wing instead. Undercamber body for better lift.

            X-Wing is abit tricky. The whole weight is at the body (That is at the R2D2). To make it work, all 4 wings are in Symmetrical or Undercamber for better lift. If we going to follow exactly the X-Wing (Which is flat surface wing), it will not fly at all. If really want to use flat wing, then either top or bottom wing uses something like a flap to make the wing to be like undercamber.

              Viper. Hmm... difficult to work...unless u have HUGE 3 EDF instead. If this one can work, then X-Wing should not have any problem.

                Babylon 5

                Earth Alliance's Starfury:

                Hmm... this is much prettier than X-Wing. More scientifically design. Take a close look on top/bottom view. Notice that the Engine is slanted inward for faster yaw turning. In the show, its engine works like thrust-vector. If we can make this one work by using 4 small EDF, it will be very nice. Again, it is similar to X-Wing.

                    Notice that all top part of the Starfury has its own personal artwork. Here are some of the artwork for each pilot (if u did watch that tv series)

                          Maybe you can start doing it first and I think the rest will come later on
